Abstract:

Obesity is a major public health problem. Bariatric surgery is currently the only available treatment that offers sufficient weight-loss and metabolic benefits over time. Although bariatric surgery is considered safe now, serious complications still occur. The aim of this thesis was to identify factors associated with an increased risk for postoperative complication after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. Study I included patients operated with laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery in Sweden from May 2007 until September 2012. The risk for serious complication was low (3.4%). Suffering an int

Background Distraction osteogenesis (DO) was first applied on the human craniofacial skeleton in 1992 by McCarthy et al.1 who performed lengthening of the mandible in patients with hemifacial microsomia and Nager’s syndrome.

In 2001, a review by Swennen et al2 concluded that up to year 1999, this form of treatment was gaining intense popularity but that the main drawbacks included insufficient data on long term result

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) a higher number of medical morbidities are known to be associated with those that have obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) compared to OSA alone. OHS can therefore pose a higher risk of postoperative complications after elective non-cardiac surgery (NCS) and is often unrecognized at the time of surgery. The objective of this study was to retrospectively identify patients with OHS and compare their postoperative outcomes with those who have OSA alone. METHODS: Patients meeting criteria for OHS were identified within a large cohort

Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the procedure of choice in most patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm. The drawbacks of EVAR are a higher rate of complications and frequent need for reinterventions, requiring regular postoperative follow-up.

The aim of this thesis is to develop strategies that can stratify the EVAR follow-up programme according to an individual patient´s risk profile.

Abstract:

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in the western world. Despite improvements in diagnosis and treatment, 50% of patients still die from this disease. It is now recognised that postoperative infective complications contribute to poor cancer specific survival following resection for colorectal cancer. The basis of this observation is not clear. One hypothesis is that the presence of a raised systemic inflammatory response may be responsible. Whether a raised postoperative inflammatory response is the result of an early underlying infection at a preclinical stage,

Abstract:

Silicone oil (SO) is widely used as the long-term intraocular tamponade in treating various eye diseases such as complicated retinal detachment, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, giant retinal tear and ocular trauma. However, its propensity to emulsify is an inherent problem of its long-term use in-vivo. Dispersal of SO into many tiny oil droplets causes numerous complications such as inflammation, glaucoma and reproliferation. It may also be responsible for possible toxicity to both retina and optic nerve. Emulsification is one of the problems associated

Abstract:

This project set out to derive a prediction rule based on preoperative clinical variables to identify patients with high risk of developing atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery. Methods: Prospectively collected data from a perioperative database was corroborated with chart review to identify eligible patients who had non-emergent surgery in 2010. Details on 28 preoperative variables were collected and significant predictors (p<0.2) were inserted into multivariable logistic regression and recursive partitioning. Results: 305 (30.5%) of 999 patients developed new onset postoperativ
